I thought intubated folks had to be put in a coma and kept in that state?  Its not like the guy even if improving is going to sit up in bed or anything as long as he is intubated.

Being intubated is rough. Yes he has to be in a medically induced coma and sometimes given a paralytic drug to keep them from moving depending on the type of injury. And then you can get other illnesses like pneumonia because you are intubated and all these other illnesses can walk right into your lungs. This young man has a loooong road ahead either way.

I am fine with the NFL waiting 30-45 minutes to make the official call.  As long as they eventually make the correct call.  

As far as the league telling players they have five minutes, I want to see some proof that was said and that it came from the league.  If there is some, then someone deserves to get called out.  But until that proof is forthcoming, it's just the usual misinformation that occurs in an emergency situation.

This man died on the field.  His heart stopped.  I don’t give a damn about this game being played but the NFL will have to make a decision here.  That is first.

As to this game…I would honestly give both teams a win and move on without playing it.  Have the players union and owners agree to it and move on.  I cannot imagine actually playing this game.

The quote I read is Vincent said he didn't know where the "5 min" thing came from and nothing like that ever crossed his mind to say in the first place. 

Probably from the same people that are always wanting to point fingers and stir the pot after something bad happens.

When a terrible and shocking event occurs, rumors and accusations fly.  Someone says something offhand, and it builds and spreads like wildfire.  It will take several days before the truth or at least part of it, comes out.  And even then, some won't believe it.

I suppose the issue is going to be, once he gets his breathing in order, how long was his brain deprived of oxygen.  Pray for a normal life moving forward I am scared for him and his family.

I will be pulling for Buffalo in the playoffs to get him a ring.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.

      Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
